I finally did it

I have been blogging to myself off and on for several years. One thing kept bugging me--how to add pictures to my gadgets without having to utilize a third party host site. Many thanks to Rachid Amaoui https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!starred for helping me

A-mazing Video by UK Based Joseph Pelling

Talk about creative--check out Joseph Pelling's clever illustrations, animation and writing!

Still working as of 32,975 days and I don't mean the tractor...

The tractor was a gift from the kids. I don't remember whether it was a Christmas gift or his birthday gift--it was many many years ago. One more thing to check out. Many a summer days were spent moving trees, rocks, and bucketing just about anything over 25 lbs. Here he is bucketing snow to get out of our garage. Our favorite saying is "Nothing Runs Like a Deere"!

Baby Afghan Pattern and Notes

I can't find any copyright information on this pattern (I purchased it about 45 years ago). I forgot everything I knew about crocheting since doing this pattern in 2003. I am making this for a second time and made notes to myself along the way. More to come...I have yet to do the borders!
